2000 1ST ED "PRINCE & OTHERS 1850-1940" DOG PHOTOS ILLUSTRATED HB BOOK (P3)

2000 1ST ED "PRINCE & OTHERS 1850-1940" DOG PHOTOS ILLUSTRATED HB BOOK (P3)

Great 1ST EDITION hardback book from 2000 by Libby Hall containing amazing photos of dogs in Victorian days with their owners or on their own. Great book for dog lovers. Binding and pages inside are in superb condition especially as the book is 25 years old.

As family photography became increasingly popular in the second half of the nineteenth century, the inclusion of the family dog in the picture became virtually de rigeur. As this irresistible galere of canine crowd-pleasers testifies, dogs are not just man's best friends, they are also his finest and most willing photographic models. Libby Hall has been collecting photographs of dogs since the 1960s and from her enormous archive she has chosen a winning line-up. Some are hilarious, some moving, some are heartbreaking. These touching photographs of dogs and men, dogs and women, dogs and groups, dogs and dogs, and just simply dogs, offer insights into Victorian domestic arrangements and social mores. They open up new realms of fantasy: why were these photos taken, where and when were they taken and what happened next? But mostly these frozen moments capture the blissfully-requited passions of people and their pooches.

See photos for examples of pages inside.
